CKUT Radio | India: 'Operation Green Hunt'] Subject: [creative-radio] CKUT Radio | India: 'Operation Green Hunt' From: "Stefan Christoff" <christoff@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, December 29, 2009 00:05 To: creative-radio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * CKUT Radio | India: 'Operation Green Hunt' interview with activist and academic Radha D'Souza by Stefan Christoff <http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/37821> Radha D'Souza speaks on contemporary political realities in India, focusing on Operation Green Hunt, a major military operation launched by the Indian government involving over 100 000 military personal. U.S. President Barack Obama welcomed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for an official state visit in Washington while a massive deployment of Indian military forces launched attacks on Maoist rebels in India's east, a campaign strongly critiqued by social justice activists in India and globally. In this interview Radha D'Souza argues that Operation Green Hunt is a distraction from critically important issues facing Indian society today, such as the sever economic inequality that continues to shape Indian society, while corporations are granted increasing rights via 'special economic zones' which afford corporate rights but have created displacement for impoverished communities in India. Beyond the contemporary political situation Radha D'Souza critically examines Indian history, offering a historical critique on India's Congress party, often linked to India's independent struggle against British colonialism and currently in power. * Radha D'Souza is an activist, lawyer and academic currently teaching at University of Westminster in London. * Stefan Christoff is a journalist and social justice activist based in Montreal <http://twitter.com/spirodon> --- ------------------------------------ -- This e-mail service is edited, managed and moderated by George Lessard http://mediamentor.ca Make a donation via PayPal: http://members.tripod.com/media002/ make-a-donation-via-paypal.html Creative-Radio is an independent forum for people active in or interested in the use of radio in development, in particular promoting public health, improved education, protection of the environment, improved livelihoods, good governance and conflict mitigation.
